dropping on politicians and posting recordings online or those taking part in a massive opposition rally in december were surprised to find out that one of their inspirations recently described them in a phone as. hear from its future of government are. your words. from any side when we are living in election year there are no holds barred in this war not even interfering in someone's private life so. a lack of privacy for today's politicians is already a modern day reality and with fifty million russians going on lunch today about forty percent of the adult population she's the future is predicted to be she deals with them online political other tars pushing the boundaries of a virtual world without borders exceeding the gradual r t. a plenty more ahead for you this hour including rules before rescue. this is the

part where rules and regulations defy logic. we report on why few dollars and the fear of legal action is forcing us emergency services to turn their backs on people when they need them most. put a revolutionary stamina to a test this week hundreds of thousands of egyptians poor back to to where you're square the iconic birthplace of the country's uprising but here on the mood a somber and many egyptians disenchanted today they're demanding the dissolution of the military council which inherited absolute power from deposed president hosni mubarak this as a gyptian stood a vote on the upper house of parliament following lower house elections that saw the dramatic rise of islamic members the new government is also busy putting together the country's constitution the ruling council of also promised concessions including the lifting up. era state of emergency law but egyptian author and

filmmaker philip risks says little will change. but i don't see it as being that big of a shift i mean we lived under military rule for thirty years and that gave the government the authority to do just about what they wanted to me it's just a formal matter and that they they lived emergency law while we live under the rule of a military dreamt up since the military took over general twenty eight's over fifteen thousand civilians that we know of have faced military courts and have received trials of anywhere between six months to fifteen years and they've tasted power they have massive economic interests in the country again everything that's happened in egypt really needs to be looked at from an economic perspective in that there's a group of cronies of money box and his government that were in power they've been moved out of power and there's a new group of cronies that are in place and they will not just let go and hand over power like that without having guarantees that their interests will be secured

. meanwhile in the bia the national transitional council has reportedly begun amassing forces including truck mounted and to aircraft cannon near the rest of town of bani walid the troop build up comes after a deadly clashes in the town earlier this week during which government fighters were forced out the unrest may or is a growing frustration in the country with mad people fed up with government incompetence and violent power struggles between former rebels doctors without borders has also suspended its libya mission over concerns that it's being made to treated to a geisha the victims allegedly tortured by and to see forces that were thousands of could our people list still behind bars there's a growing question over the intentions of the nato bad government parties might finish now reports. doctors without borders known for going do their job in the most dangerous and notorious places around the globe but an end to leave the group

has encountered a formidable obstacle they couldn't overcome burns through electric shocks and cigarettes heavy bruising and renal failure all these evidence of the continue of prisoners say the doctors and no off the two inmates died from beatings the international group has stalled its mission in protest. patients were brought to us in the middle of interrogation for medical care in order to make them fit for further interrogation this is an acceptable our rule is to provide medical care to war casualties and sick detainees not to repeatedly treat the same patients between torture sessions the news comes amidst rising anger with libya's interim government demonstrations in benghazi last week ended with the resignation of a high ranking member of the m.t.c. in the former gadhafi stronghold of bani walid locals pushed out their traditional council forces claiming systematic abuse it started with the very beginning of the

rebellion very beginning of the insurrection the second day of the rebellion eighteenth of february so the african migrants were rounded up locked in a detention center and burnt to death and the n.p.c. expressed their support for this time and this is part of the strategy of the west you know divide and rule and that was given the green light of the torture and execution that we're seeing now so this is a recipe for civil war meanwhile the nato operation that brought them to see to power is by itself raising questions. a high profile international team of human rights activists has been to leave here to investigate some of make sure that it bears entity of where with that if you go in the friends. and there were guiding the air raids and they are acting them and court again meeting them if you

are mandated. the approach to see videos that. it is very very accurate in a way that i myself saw the killing of so many people in front of more my eyes i saw the killing go fifty one people in front of my eyes was fifteen years old and while all sides and the live in conflict are to blame for violence and violations the human rights activists claim not all of them have been held responsible for their wrongdoings investigated what happens during labor seven months civil war and the nato campaign to protect civilians this fact is the mission discovered again crimes against humanity but the goal was not to judge but to shed light on what happened and not to repeat the mistakes in a recent united nations report has revealed that up to eight thousand supporters have been held by militia groups in libya right now and with numerous occasions of

torture and revenge killings throughout the country hopes of a new beginning for libya are fading quickly reef an ocean or r.t. . to protect and serve the founding principle of america's emergency services has found itself on shaky ground police and firefighters stand accused of allowing people to drown how in houses to burn as red tape and litigation fear is preventing rescuers from helping innocent people are just going to shit can has the story. jeanne chronics house burned down to ashes as firefighters stood by and just watched they refused to save mr cranks home because he hadn't paid a seventy five dollars fire fee that the county requires i thought they'd come out and put it out maybe if you hadn't but i do said the five dollars but thrown as the house went up in flames the cryonics were begging the firefighters to make an exception saying they were ready to pay whatever it took to put out the blaze but they were told it was too late thanks my mother for my mother's my grandmother's my

great grandmother's well we're in the house same happened to vicki belle from tennessee firefighters stood by and idly watched her trailer home burn because she too hadn't paid the seventy five dollars fee no one said they were in fact this fact that they so they were all saying. in the us foreign policy varies from state to state from county to county in south fulton tennessee if you don't pay you're out of luck anybody that's not inside the city limits of self interest service that we offer you they said that although down behind numerous similar incidents lies a problem reject the local rules versus the responsibility of the government to help its citizens when they're in trouble or rather versus basic human compassion we're really poor in terms of humanity i mean when it's seventy five dollars that is the more important thing and i get in a situation like this it just shows you that we've become far too concerned about

about every single dollar and you know and also that it just shows it's really kind of it's an all about me you know we just don't live in the community anymore than like there's no sense of this like shared responsibility for the individuals in that community in california police and firemen watch the man drowned saying they didn't have proper certifications for water rescue which would leave them open to possible lawsuits if they attempted to save him city officials blamed incident on budget cuts so as the more. then an hour long tragedy unfolded authorities stood there and did nothing this is the part where rules and regulations defy logic that was the end result of body washing up to the shore. so you think it's horrible how can we allow that to happen in the us is a very litigious society we have more lawyers per capita per capita than any other country and i think the world and so you know when you have to worry when you're a rescuer and you have to worry about a lawsuit and you cannot rescue a person as

a result i mean that's that's really a problem if the firefighters had rescued the man even saved his life but somehow maybe broke a rib or hurt him in some other way you know they stand to be sued and in court and that's just the way our system works even after the serve brought raymond zack's body closer to the shore firefighters refused to get in the water and retrieve the corpse so they waited until a passer by volunteered to do the job the logic you don't get anything unless you pay makes sense to a lot of americans but when you have money and rules on one side of the scale and humanity the human urge to help on the other and money wins this is when one gets the says that something is wrong with the way the system works i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. and recap our top stories coming up in just a few moments stay with us.

so let's substitute. a touch like a well trained army. religion is in ruins.

for thailand where time stands still. becomes a scene of nothing. the mysterious sons of russia. are. back here with our t. here's a look at the top stories of the week as well as the latest news arab league on ice the syrian fact finding mission is frozen after violence escalates triggering pressure on the e.u. and tough talks at the u.n. security council. and revolutionary aftershocks deadly clashes on troop build up and leave you while in egypt hundreds of thousands stage fresh protests against their rolling mill. u.s. police take

a loves off at broach against occupy protesters in oakland firing tear gas and flash grenades arresting scores in the process. this week also songlines anger spilling onto the streets as internet users in poland fight against a new international anti-piracy agreement seen as censorship and a human rights abuse. the reigning parliament is set to vote on an immediate cut off of oil supplies to the e.u. and a preemptive strike against the blocked group embargo on to iran do in summer something many fear will backfire on europe's frail economy coming up next our t. caught up with the head of russia's high tech state corporation or snow and i told you guys at the economic forum in davos to discuss the prospects of the country's business and political future. to choose wisely what's one action should russia's new government take to stop

business leaders stealing money and taking it out of the country the basic reasons for the capital of war. there's no connection or is the marker going to macondo mentals because they're quite positive so we fear for inflation rate last through a belief less than. definitive as the seven percent there's no file data. believe that the next to solve until your will be on the war is going to mcgraw's four percent or three point something. so it's not micro konami that's more fundamental i would say institutional reasons which lead to eat the basics is the rule of law corruption independent judicial system that's the main priority of where to my understanding question government and the next question presidential because straight up on the fortunately i'm more on the one way to fight corruption in the name of this way the democracy. of the should one more and to corruption but

just lation it's it's about nothing. in democracy is the real competition in political life was the real independent political party this was the real axis two of the must media including t.v. for the opposition that's the main demand of the new russian opposition which was born on the. square and that's the only way to fight corruption what role do you want to play in russian politics moving forward zero. that's my dream my dream do not take part in any kind of political process or police on the public level. when mulches presidential elections get serious public opinion polls. and a social forecast and that's why i can only share some feelings norwich with you so my feeling is that just as for today in its strongest

candidates which is all of those second. it doesn't need to put in room necessarily do we in the cost structure thought we would and will not read in the first trump book if extremely complicated political situation where on the second welfare situation pooches are granted. and that is something which is not completely recovered nicely by the russian society and i cannot forecast what will be the main . reaction of your position and that people. there will be death pain the question or so grown up the answer is not determined violence spilling into the streets if there's no clear election we know not all i'm signal to discuss took a ball of the second round result in case if it will happen in case they will be

put on a what you are in a position to watch for in this kind of dilemma it's unclear for me unfortunately russia has a problem but i think its budget shouldn't cut spending all raise taxes. unfortunately i believe that. the russian budget for speaking out about a self-employed but was because the police simply yours for that perspective was no bells. and that all of it yeah made several decision which does balance question budget. i can see even more i believe. some of decision which will be denounced on the high level could not be implemented in russia. and that's why i believe that it's restructuring of the russian budget absolutely. which was this dilemma that you mention cut spending quarter increase taxes i believe that we are over cost in terms of all the. budget expenditures

i believe that we need to hear strong cut on the budget expenditures and the scale of this. budget for steps is that big that you can no one can do it without stronger for years we need pension reforms we need health care reforms we need additional step and transforming the russian educational system and those steps the institutional way which may help us to cut budgetary spending but i know that now the russian pension fund is not balanced it's subsidized by the russian budget and subsidize fantastic amount of money and subsidization increasing your by your so that's why to my understanding. pension reform inevitable and i'm not ready to speak in details about the details but i can tell there will that idea. there if we're in the will that idea accumulate underperformer in the last. six so

in yours the more we will delay these painful steps the more radical and more painful pension reform will be do you oppose the big roys in russia's military spending no i'm not against the moment just going and going to believe that the military spending may help if they arrange in a proper way they may fail to bolster of the in the way shown the in need of green district as well it was done in the united states and sitting on willy nilly would not be what it is without the military orders from the pentagon and i would not reject this kind of ideas but it's not a question yes or no that's a question of the extent and the extent to which was. so already announced i couldn't say it's good but it's just unrealistic there is no way to spend that much money on this structure with though it does better than sink russian economy and

that's the problem holding brosnan those investing in foreign as well as russian startups what's the current propulsion that's proportional shows that reflect our understanding between the developing russian all based projects and transfer technology more to transfer and we believe the at the russia case it's a base but of the same time there are fantastic interesting projects outside the flash and transfer would make sense was this basic understanding with here proportion which looks like so and to five percent of the total that's the russian base project twenty five percent that transfer of technology from outside of russia to russia so into five into play in five for yours i would hardly predict it but in ten years eve the strategy for there are some of the zation will be successful it may change and increase the russian proportion of what progress have you made here in double since then in the first shares in this year we will sell ten percent

shares of at the private placement that's very very sensitive point for us none in our way from the state corporation into the business like a corporation in this state will do was consult so from the middle of the engine we could be and that's why i made here was the middle the president and we to be in the we are discussing this steps and just saw the bill and the strategy how to increase the private shareholders participation it's not public placement that's private placement the first stage it's private placement which will happen this year for this ten percent what sorts of private investors do you want to attract for your placement this year that's exactly the topic we're discussing in the i believe that on the first stage which will be about ten percent of the major way should be on the institutional investors and i think that we need to what do we need to. if it was a bore will it put they should. investors in. the famous for in the investor. able to invest in
